Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the
room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under any circumstances
be shut off or sealed.
Warning nOte
Properly installed and maintained, this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling during normal operation.
Occasional fume emissions may occur when removing ash and re fuelling. However, persistent fume emission is
potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate
action should be taken:
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room
(b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.
If necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these must be
kept clean at all times.
iMPOrtant nOtes
general
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks described
in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is
sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover the installer should
have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used
to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 6539.
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least once a year for smokeless fuels and a minimum of twice a year for wood
and other fuels. It is important that the flue connection and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a pro-
longed shutdown period.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear
any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided alternative
means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the
stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
